Chambourcin

Chambourcin Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: Our very first dry red wine, the Chambourcin presents itself nicely as a versatile table wine. The distinct structure of balanced acidity and firm tannins pairs nicely with steak or red sauce based pasta. Tastings suggest dark fruit flavors such as currants and blackberries.

Varietal Definition
Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
